(1) we purchased a used 1998 Pontiac Trans sport and discovered the next day that the air bag light stayed on all the time. (2) we are concerned as to why this light flashes when we turn the ignition on while the diagnostic test proceeds and all other lights go out. The air bag light continues to flash which must indicate something. The air bag light flashes until we start the van and then just stays on but does not flash till the ignition is turned off. We are most concerned what this light means to the safety of driving and the air bags deploying correctly. Kenny ross performs an advertised 130 point safety check which they show the customer that indicates what was found and the repairs they performed. We would assume that air bag problems would be pointed out if the dealer checked for the safety of the autos that they sell. This dealership has a very good reputation and is why we felt safe dealing with them. (3) the van was purchased "as is" and the salesman dennis miller has yet to respond to our emails concerning this problem.
